Jacksonville has the worst QB. Have you seen Gabbert? I mean, if that isn't blatantly obvious, I doubt you've seen Gabbert.

Seattle, Minnesota, Oakland, Cleveland, KC, and Arizona could all see major improvements by drafting a real QB. Cincinnati too.

Sam Bradford may be the biggest name on the hot seat this year. If he doesn't perform, he could be out of a job, too.

edit: If Rodgers goes down, the Pack will still be way better than a lot of teams. No chance of the #1 overall pick.

After the sophomore season that Sam just had, normally I would agree with you. However, I think that the new coaching staff is really high on him, they recognize that he is learning his 3rd new offense in three years, and he wasn't given much to work with last year. I think he gets a 2 year leash for sure. That being said, if he flops again this year there will be a lot of talk next year.

I am not a fan of threads like this before the season is played because we don't know what strides some of the QBs will have made during the offseason and how the rookie QBs will fare. The Browns have a rookie QB starting, but it is expected that rookies have a couple years of growing pains. With a guy like Bradford, you don't invest that high of a pick in him and then set him aside after three seasons. Teams are looking to get such instant gratification that they forget that some players take a few years to develop.

The exception is Gabbert.

Teams I that have a bad QB (rookie or young player) situation that I would not expect to draft a QB next year:
MIN, SEA (Flynn gets a few years), CLE, MIA, STL

ARZ, KC, BUF

There are a lot of teams that have filled their QB needs. Or, should I say, have taken a QB and dubbed him "their guy."

So, with what looks like a really strong draft class, will this be a year when perrennial contenders take a QB that falls to them because the opportunity doesn't come around that often? Brady is 35, Brees is 33, Romo is 32, Roethlisberger is 30. If a guy like Murray or Wilson were to fall through the first round do you think someone like New England or Dallas takes him much like Green Bay took Rodgers?

This was tougher than I thought. I may have guys like Tyrod Taylor (unproven,) or Charlie Batch (reliable but old,) too high while guys like Bruce Gradkowski who has struggled when he came in, may be too low because he can manage games. I wonder if Brees or Rodgers goes down this year what would happen to GB or NO

I fail to see how Henne is better than Moore. Moore easily outplayed Henne last season. He also looked pretty good a few years ago in Carolina. Henne has never looked good. Honestly I was surprised that the Dolphins tried so hard to replace Moore.

Honestly, I don't really want a great backup qb. I want an old guy who can provide a second pair of eyes to my starter and give him intel on what he's seeing from the sidelines, but that's all I want. Or a guy who's capable of providing quality practice play for my defense to prepare with.

If my qb goes down, I rather tank the season and get the draft picks.

Last year, Bears. Cutler went down when the Bears were rolling. It looked like Cutler could come back for the playoffs and we all figured they just had to go .500 the rest of the way to limp in.

Instead, they melted down and we still got a crappy pick.

Imagine the same thing happened to Eli and the Giants. Do you want Jason Campbell or Kellen Clemens as your backup in that situation?

I'd say good teams should get good backups and bad teams should get bad backups. edit: and by bad, I don't mean proven failures. I mean young projects with the right physical tools.

You have to try to have a good back up QB. You can't even think about tanking. You have 51 other players on the team that prepared all year for the season and you can't give up on it because one guy goes down. Polian did this with the Colts and I guess they ended up with Andrew Luck but his ass got fired. I'm sure he thought he won the lotto and was going to rebuild with Luck though.

I fail to see how Henne is better than Moore. Moore easily outplayed Henne last season. He also looked pretty good a few years ago in Carolina. Henne has never looked good. Honestly I was surprised that the Dolphins tried so hard to replace Moore.

Henne only played what a whopping three and a half games last season? Matt Moore played well in stretches but so did Henne. Lets not forget that Henne was the starter that season as well.
